BACKGROUND

Treatment of brain metastases of cancers such as breast cancer currently poses a daunting clinical challenge. Among breast cancer patients, the incidence of brain metastases is as high as 50%. Clinical data indicate that there is a proclivity for HER2-positive breast cancers to metastasize to the brain. Notably, anti-HER2 therapies have proven useful for the control of extracranial tumors but not intracranial lesions. The failure of these therapies to control metastatic lesions such as brain metastases of HER2-positive breast cancer is mostly attributed to an inability of the therapeutic agents to cross the blood brain barrrier (BBB) and access the brain parenchyma.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

I. Introduction

In one aspect, bispecific proteins that can bind to both subdomain II of human HER2 and subdomain IV of human HER2 are provided. The bispecific proteins can, in general, be generated without light chain mispairing or steering. In some embodiments, the bispecific proteins bind to each target subdomain of human HER2 monovalently. In some embodiments, the bispecific proteins bind to one target subdomain of human HER2 monovalently and the other target subdomain of human HER2 bivalently (e.g., to subdomain II monovalently and to subdomain IV bivalently, or to subdomain IV monovalently and to subdomain II bivalently). In some embodiments, the bispecific proteins bind to each target subdomain of human HER2 bivalently. Various structures of the bispecific proteins are described in detail further herein.
In some embodiments, the bispecific protein comprises an scFv that binds to subdomain II (or subdomain IV) of human HER2 and a Fab that binds to subdomain IV (or subdomain II) of human HER2 (see, e.g., “Fab-Fc polypeptide/scFv-Fc polypeptide” structure in Section III). In some embodiments, the bispecific protein comprises one or more scFvs that are connected to the N- or C-terminus of the heavy chains of the bispecific protein, in which the scFv binds to subdomain II (or subdomain IV) of human HER2 and the Fab in the bispecific protein binds to subdomain IV (or subdomain II) of human HER2 (see, e.g., “mAb/N-terminal or C-terminal scFv on HC” structure in Section III). In some embodiments, the bispecific protein comprises one or more scFvs that are connected to the N- or C-terminus of the light chains of the bispecific protein, in which the scFv binds to subdomain II (or subdomain IV) of human HER2 and the Fab in the bispecific protein binds to subdomain IV (or subdomain II) of human HER2 (see, e.g., “mAb/N-terminal or C-terminal scFv on HC mAb/N-terminal or C-terminal scFv on LC” structure in Section III). In some embodiments, the bispecific protein comprises a V_Hregion (or a V_Lregion) of an Fv fragment connected to the N-terminus of the heavy chains and a V_Lregion (or a V_Hregion) of the Fv fragment connected to the N-terminus of the light chains, in which the Fv fragment binds to subdomain II (or subdomain IV) of human HER2 and the Fab in the bispecific protein binds to subdomain IV (or subdomain II) of human HER2 (see, e.g., “mAb/N-terminal V_HV_Lon HC and LC” structure in Section III). In yet other embodiments, the bispecific protein comprises a V_Hregion (or a V_Lregion) of an Fv fragment connected to the C-terminus of one of the two heavy chains in the bispecific protein and a V_Lregion (or a V_Hregion) of the Fv fragment connected to the C-terminus of the other of the two heavy chains, in which the Fv fragment binds to subdomain II (or subdomain IV) of human HER2 and the Fab in the bispecific protein binds to subdomain IV (or subdomain II) of human HER2 (see, e.g., “mAb/C-terminal V_HV_Lon HC” structure in Section III).
Previous therapies have failed to control brain metastases of HER2-positive breast cancer mostly because of the inability of the therapeutic agents to cross the blood brain barrrier (BBB) and access the brain parenchyma. Thus, there is a need for new therapeutic agents that can cross the BBB and target HER2 in the brain parenchyma. We previously described the use of transferrin receptor (TfR)-binding as a method to enable BBB delivery across the brain endothelium, as the expression of TfR is highly expressed in brain endothelial cells and can enable BBB delivery via receptor-mediated transcytosis. Interestingly, TfR is highly expressed in various cancers, including HER2-positive breast cancers. The mechanism by which cancer cells acquire increased TfR expression likely relates to tumor cell proliferation and increased metabolic demand such as iron uptake. In fact, public microarray datasets demonstrated a correlation of TfR expression to breast cancer prognosis (Miller et al., Cancer Res. 71:6728, 2011). There have also been some reports on the use of TfR as a pharmacological target for various types of cancers.
In some embodiments, the bispecific protein comprises one or more modified Fc polypeptides that specifically bind to a BBB receptor, e.g., TfR (i.e., TfR-binding Fc polypeptides). In some embodiments, the bispecific protein is capable of being transported across the BBB. In some embodiments, the anti-HER2 bispecific proteins binding to both HER2 and TfR as described herein can provide additional anti-tumor benefits upon binding to HER2-positive tumor cells which also express high levels of TfR, compared to other therapeutic agents that bind to HER2 alone. Specifically, since these proteins can bind both the TfR and HER2 at the same time, this could enhance their potency and/or efficacy.

II. Definitions

As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “an antibody” optionally includes a combination of two or more such molecules, and the like.
As used herein, the terms “about” and “approximately,” when used to modify an amount specified in a numeric value or range indicate that the numeric value as well as reasonable deviations from the value known to the skilled person in the art, for example 20%, ±10%, or +5%, are within the intended meaning of the recited value.
As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to a protein with an immunoglobulin fold that specifically binds to an antigen via its variable regions. The term encompasses intact polyclonal antibodies, intact monoclonal antibodies, single chain antibodies, multispecific antibodies such as bispecific antibodies, monospecific antibodies, monovalent antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and human antibodies. The term “antibody,” as used herein, also includes antibody fragments that retain antigen-binding specificity, including but not limited to Fab, F(ab′)₂, Fv, scFv, and bivalent scFv. Antibodies can contain light chains that are classified as either kappa or lambda. Antibodies can contain heavy chains that are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE, respectively.
An exemplary immunoglobulin (antibody) structural unit comprises a tetramer. Each tetramer is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one “light” (about 25 kD) and one “heavy” chain (about 50-70 kD). The N-terminus of each chain defines a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The terms “variable light chain” (V_L) and “variable heavy chain” (V_H) refer to these light and heavy chains, respectively.
The term “variable region” or “variable domain” refers to a domain in an antibody heavy chain or light chain that is derived from a germline Variable (V) gene, Diversity (D) gene, or Joining (J) gene (and not derived from a Constant (Cμ and Cδ) gene segment), and that gives an antibody its specificity for binding to an antigen. Typically, an antibody variable region comprises four conserved “framework” regions interspersed with three hypervariable “complementarity determining regions.”
The term “complementarity determining region” or “CDR” refers to the three hypervariable regions in each chain that interrupt the four framework regions established by the light and heavy chain variable regions. The CDRs are primarily responsible for antibody binding to an epitope of an antigen. The CDRs of each chain are typically referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, numbered sequentially starting from the N-terminus, and are also typically identified by the chain in which the particular CDR is located. Thus, a V_HCDR3 or CDR-H3 is located in the variable region of the heavy chain of the antibody in which it is found, whereas a V_LCDR1 or CDR-L1 is the CDR1 from the variable region of the light chain of the antibody in which it is found.
The “framework regions” or “FRs” of different light or heavy chains are relatively conserved within a species. The framework region of an antibody, that is the combined framework regions of the constituent light and heavy chains, serves to position and align the CDRs in three-dimensional space. Framework sequences can be obtained from public DNA databases or published references that include germline antibody gene sequences. For example, germline DNA sequences for human heavy and light chain variable region genes can be found in the “VBASE2” germline variable gene sequence database for human and mouse sequences.
The amino acid sequences of the CDRs and framework regions can be determined using various well known definitions in the art, e.g., Kabat, Chothia, international ImMunoGeneTics database (IMGT), AbM, and observed antigen contacts (“Contact”). In some embodiments, CDRs are determined according to the Contact definition. See, MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol. 262:732-745, 1996. In some embodiments, CDRs are determined by a combination of Kabat, Chothia, and/or Contact CDR definitions.
The term “Fd portion” refers to an N-terminal portion of an immunoglobulin heavy chain. Typically, an Fd portion includes the heavy chain variable (VH) region and a heavy chain constant (CH1) region.
The term “Fab” refers to an antigen-binding fragment consisting of a light chain variable region, a light chain constant region, a heavy chain variable region, and a heavy chain CH1 constant region.
The term “single-chain variable fragment” or “scFv” refers to an antigen-binding fragment consisting of a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region linked together via a peptide linker. An scFv lacks constant regions.
The term “Fv fragment” refers to an antigen-binding fragment consisting of a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region that together form a binding site for an antigen.
The term “epitope” refers to the area or region of an antigen to which a molecule, e.g., the CDRs of an antibody, specifically binds and can include a few amino acids or portions of a few amino acids, e.g., 5 or 6, or more, e.g., 20 or more amino acids, or portions of those amino acids. In some cases, the epitope includes non-protein components, e.g., from a carbohydrate, nucleic acid, or lipid. In some cases, the epitope is a three-dimensional moiety. Thus, for example, where the target is a protein, the epitope can be comprised of consecutive amino acids (e.g., a linear epitope), or amino acids from different parts of the protein that are brought into proximity by protein folding (e.g., a discontinuous or conformational epitope).
As used herein, the phrase “recognizes an epitope,” as used with reference to an antibody, means that the antibody CDRs interact with or specifically bind to the antigen at that epitope or a portion of the antigen containing that epitope.
A “humanized antibody” is a chimeric immunoglobulin derived from a non-human source (e.g., murine) that contains minimal sequences derived from the non-human immunoglobulin outside the CDRs. In general, a humanized antibody will comprise at least one (e.g., two) variable domain(s), in which the CDR regions substantially correspond to those of the non-human immunoglobulin and the framework regions substantially correspond to those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. In some instances, certain framework region residues of a human immunoglobulin can be replaced with the corresponding residues from a non-human species to, e.g., improve specificity, affinity, and/or serum half-life. The humanized antibody can also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin sequence. Methods of antibody humanization are known in the art.
A “human antibody” or a “fully human antibody” is an antibody having human heavy chain and light chain sequences, typically derived from human germline genes. In some embodiments, the antibody is produced by a human cell, by a non-human animal that utilizes human antibody repertoires (e.g., transgenic mice that are genetically engineered to express human antibody sequences), or by phage display platforms.
The term “specifically binds” refers to a molecule (e.g., a Fab, an scFv, or a modified Fc polypeptide (or a target-binding portion thereof) that binds to an epitope or target with greater affinity, greater avidity, and/or greater duration to that epitope or target in a sample than it binds to another epitope or non-target compound (e.g., a structurally different antigen). In some embodiments, a Fab, scFv, or modified Fc polypeptide (or a target-binding portion thereof) that specifically binds to an epitope or target is a Fab, scFv, or modified Fc polypeptide (or a target-binding portion thereof) that binds to the epitope or target with at least 5-fold greater affinity than other epitopes or non-target compounds, e.g., at least 6-fold, 7-fold, 8-fold, 9-fold, 10-fold, 25-fold, 50-fold, 100-fold, 1000-fold, 10,000-fold, or greater affinity. The term “specific binding,” “specifically binds to,” or “is specific for” a particular epitope or target, as used herein, can be exhibited, for example, by a molecule having an equilibrium dissociation constant K_Dfor the epitope or target to which it binds of, e.g., 10⁻⁴M or smaller, e.g., 10⁻⁵M, 10⁻⁶M, 10⁻⁷M, 10⁻⁸M, 10⁻⁹M, 10⁻¹⁰M, 10⁻¹¹M, or 10⁻¹²M. It will be recognized by one of skill that a Fab or scFv that specifically binds to a target from one species may also specifically bind to orthologs of that target.
The term “binding affinity” is used herein to refer to the strength of a non-covalent interaction between two molecules, e.g., between a Fab or scFv and an antigen, or between a modified Fc polypeptide (or a target-binding portion thereof) and a target. Thus, for example, the term may refer to 1:1 interactions between a Fab or scFv and an antigen or between a modified Fc polypeptide (or a target-binding portion thereof) and a target, unless otherwise indicated or clear from context. Binding affinity may be quantified by measuring an equilibrium dissociation constant (K_D), which refers to the dissociation rate constant (ka, time⁻¹) divided by the association rate constant (ka, time⁻¹M⁻¹). K_Dcan be determined by measurement of the kinetics of complex formation and dissociation, e.g., using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) methods, e.g., a Biacore™ system; kinetic exclusion assays such as KinExA®; and BioLayer interferometry (e.g., using the ForteBio® Octet platform). As used herein, “binding affinity” includes not only formal binding affinities, such as those reflecting 1:1 interactions between a Fab or scFv and an antigen or between a modified Fc polypeptide (or a target-binding portion thereof) and a target, but also apparent affinities for which K_D's are calculated that may reflect avid binding.
A “transferrin receptor” or “TfR,” as used herein, refers to transferrin receptor protein 1. The human transferrin receptor 1 polypeptide sequence is set forth in SEQ ID NO:150. Transferrin receptor protein 1 sequences from other species are also known (e.g., chimpanzee, accession number XP_003310238.1; rhesus monkey, NP_001244232.1; dog, NP_001003111.1; cattle, NP_001193506.1; mouse, NP_035768.1; rat, NP_073203.1; and chicken, NP_990587.1). The term “transferrin receptor” also encompasses allelic variants of exemplary reference sequences, e.g., human sequences, that are encoded by a gene at a transferrin receptor protein 1 chromosomal locus. Full-length transferrin receptor protein includes a short N-terminal intracellular region, a transmembrane region, and a large extracellular domain. The extracellular domain is characterized by three domains: a protease-like domain, a helical domain, and an apical domain.
As used herein, the term “Fc polypeptide” refers to the C-terminal region of a naturally occurring immunoglobulin heavy chain polypeptide that is characterized by an Ig fold as a structural domain. An Fc polypeptide contains constant region sequences including at least the CH2 domain and/or the CH3 domain and may contain at least part of the hinge region, but does not contain a variable region.
A “modified Fc polypeptide” refers to an Fc polypeptide that has at least one mutation, e.g., a substitution, deletion or insertion, as compared to a wild-type immunoglobulin heavy chain Fc polypeptide sequence, but retains the overall Ig fold or structure of the native Fc polypeptide.
As used herein, “FcRn” refers to the neonatal Fc receptor. Binding of Fc polypeptides to FcRn reduces clearance and increases serum half-life of the Fc polypeptide. The human FcRn protein is a heterodimer that is composed of a protein of about 50 kDa in size that is similar to a major histocompatibility (MHC) class I protein and a 02-microglobulin of about 15 kDa in size.

As used herein, the term “mutant,” as used with reference to a mutant polypeptide or mutant polynucleotide is used interchangeably with “variant.” A variant with respect to a given wild-type CH3 or CH2 domain reference sequence can include naturally occurring allelic variants. A “non-naturally” occurring CH3 or CH2 domain refers to a variant or mutant domain that is not present in a cell in nature and that is produced by genetic modification, e.g., using genetic engineering technology or mutagenesis techniques, of a native CH3 domain or CH2 domain polynucleotide or polypeptide. A “variant” includes any domain comprising at least one amino acid mutation with respect to wild-type. Mutations may include substitutions, insertions, and deletions.
The term “isolated,” as used with reference to a nucleic acid or protein, denotes that the nucleic acid or protein is essentially free of other cellular components with which it is associated in the natural state. It is preferably in a homogeneous state. Purity and homogeneity are typically determined using analytical chemistry techniques such as electrophoresis (e.g., polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) or chromatography (e.g., high performance liquid chromatography). In some embodiments, an isolated nucleic acid or protein is at least 85% pure, at least 90% pure, at least 95% pure, or at least 99% pure.
The term “amino acid” refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, e.g., hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate and O-phosphoserine. Naturally occurring α-amino acids include, without limitation, alanine (Ala), cysteine (Cys), aspartic acid (Asp), glutamic acid (Glu), phenylalanine (Phe), glycine (Gly), histidine (His), isoleucine (Ile), arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), leucine (Leu), methionine (Met), asparagine (Asn), proline (Pro), glutamine (Gln), serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), valine (Val), tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), and combinations thereof.

Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. “Amino acid mimetics” refers to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but that functions in a manner similar to a naturally occurring amino acid. Amino acids may be referred to herein by either their commonly known three letter symbols or by the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission.
The terms “polypeptide” and “peptide” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues in a single chain. The terms apply to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residue is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymers. Amino acid polymers may comprise entirely L-amino acids, entirely D-amino acids, or a mixture of L and D amino acids.
The term “protein” as used herein refers to either a polypeptide or a dimer (i.e, two) or multimer (i.e., three or more) of single chain polypeptides. The single chain polypeptides of a protein may be joined by a covalent bond, e.g., a disulfide bond, or non-covalent interactions.
The term “linker,” as used herein, refers to a moiety that links (e.g., covalently links) two peptides or polypeptides (e.g., between an Fc polypeptide and an scFv) to connect or fuse the peptides or polypeptides. In some embodiments, a linker comprises a chemical linkage. In some embodiments, a linker comprises a peptide having a length of one or more amino acid residues. Suitable linkers for connecting or fusing peptides or polypeptides can be selected based on the properties of the linkers, such as the length, hydrophobicity, flexibility, rigidity, or cleavability of the linker.
The terms “polynucleotide” and “nucleic acid” interchangeably refer to chains of nucleotides of any length, and include DNA and RNA. The nucleotides can be deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, modified nucleotides or bases, and/or their analogs, or any substrate that can be incorporated into a chain by DNA or RNA polymerase. A polynucleotide may comprise modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and their analogs. Examples of polynucleotides contemplated herein include single- and double-stranded DNA, single- and double-stranded RNA, and hybrid molecules having mixtures of single- and double-stranded DNA and RNA.
The terms “conservative substitution” and “conservative mutation” refer to an alteration that results in the substitution of an amino acid with another amino acid that can be categorized as having a similar feature. Examples of categories of conservative amino acid groups defined in this manner can include: a “charged/polar group” including Glu (Glutamic acid or E), Asp (Aspartic acid or D), Asn (Asparagine or N), Gln (Glutamine or Q), Lys (Lysine or K), Arg (Arginine or R), and His (Histidine or H); an “aromatic group” including Phe (Phenylalanine or F), Tyr (Tyrosine or Y), Trp (Tryptophan or W), and (Histidine or H); and an “aliphatic group” including Gly (Glycine or G), Ala (Alanine or A), Val (Valine or V), Leu (Leucine or L), Ile (Isoleucine or I), Met (Methionine or M), Ser (Serine or S), Thr (Threonine or T), and Cys (Cysteine or C). Within each group, subgroups can also be identified. For example, the group of charged or polar amino acids can be sub-divided into sub-groups including: a “positively-charged sub-group” comprising Lys, Arg and His; a “negatively-charged sub-group” comprising Glu and Asp; and a “polar sub-group” comprising Asn and Gln. In another example, the aromatic or cyclic group can be sub-divided into sub-groups including: a “nitrogen ring sub-group” comprising Pro, His and Trp; and a “phenyl sub-group” comprising Phe and Tyr. In another further example, the aliphatic group can be sub-divided into sub-groups, e.g., an “aliphatic non-polar sub-group” comprising Val, Leu, Gly, and Ala; and an “aliphatic slightly-polar sub-group” comprising Met, Ser, Thr, and Cys. Examples of categories of conservative mutations include amino acid substitutions of amino acids within the sub-groups above, such as, but not limited to: Lys for Arg or vice versa, such that a positive charge can be maintained; Glu for Asp or vice versa, such that a negative charge can be maintained; Ser for Thr or vice versa, such that a free —OH can be maintained; and Gln for Asn or vice versa, such that a free —NH₂can be maintained. In some embodiments, hydrophobic amino acids are substituted for naturally occurring hydrophobic amino acid, e.g., in the active site, to preserve hydrophobicity.
The terms “identical” or percent “identity,” in the context of two or more polypeptide sequences, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues, e.g., at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95% or greater, that are identical over a specified region when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window or designated region as measured using a sequence comparison algorithm or by manual alignment and visual inspection.
For sequence comparison of polypeptides, typically one amino acid sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which a candidate sequence is compared. Alignment can be performed using various methods available to one of skill in the art, e.g., visual alignment or using publicly available software using known algorithms to achieve maximal alignment. Such programs include the BLAST programs, ALIGN, ALIGN-2 (Genentech, South San Francisco, Calif.) or Megalign (DNASTAR). The parameters employed for an alignment to achieve maximal alignment can be determined by one of skill in the art. For sequence comparison of polypeptide sequences for purposes of this application, the BLASTP algorithm standard protein BLAST for aligning two proteins sequence with the default parameters is used.
The terms “corresponding to,” “determined with reference to,” or “numbered with reference to” when used in the context of the identification of a given amino acid residue in a polypeptide sequence, refers to the position of the residue of a specified reference sequence when the given amino acid sequence is maximally aligned and compared to the reference sequence. Thus, for example, an amino acid residue in a modified Fc polypeptide “corresponds to” an amino acid in SEQ ID NO: 130, when the residue aligns with the amino acid in SEQ ID NO:130 when optimally aligned to SEQ ID NO:130. The polypeptide that is aligned to the reference sequence need not be the same length as the reference sequence.
The terms “subject,” “individual,” and “patient,” as used interchangeably herein, refer to a mammal, including but not limited to humans, non-human primates, rodents (e.g., rats, mice, and guinea pigs), rabbits, cows, pigs, horses, and other mammalian species. In one embodiment, the patient is a human.

The treatment or amelioration of symptoms can be based on objective or subjective parameters. The effect of treatment can be compared to an individual or pool of individuals not receiving the treatment, or to the same patient prior to treatment or at a different time during treatment.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” refers to a non-active pharmaceutical ingredient that is biologically or pharmacologically compatible for use in humans or animals, such as, but not limited to a buffer, carrier, or preservative.
As used herein, a “therapeutic amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” of an agent is an amount of the agent (e.g., any of the proteins described herein) that treats a disease in a subject.
The term “administer” refers to a method of delivering agents, compounds, or compositions to the desired site of biological action.

In some embodiments, the V_Lregion and the V_Hregion of the scFv both contain Cys substitutions. In some embodiments, Cys substitutions in the V_Lregion and the V_Hregion can form a disulfide bond and help to stabilize the structure of the scFv. In some embodiments, the scFv comprises a cysteine at each of positions V_H44 and V _L100, according to Kabat variable domain numbering. In some embodiments, the scFv comprises a disulfide bond between the cysteines at positions V_H44 and V _L100.

IV. Fc Polypeptides and Modifications Thereof

In some aspects, any of the anti-HER2 bispecific proteins described herein comprises an Fc polypeptide dimer in which either one or both Fc polypeptides in the dimer contain amino acid modifications relative to a wild-type Fc polypeptide. In some embodiments, the amino acid modifications in an Fc polypeptide (e.g., a modified Fc polypeptide) can result in binding of the Fc polypeptide dimer to a BBB receptor (e.g., a TfR), promote heterodimerization of the two Fc polypeptides in the dimer, modulate effector function, extend serum half-life, influence glycosylation, and/or reduce immunogenicity in humans. In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptides present in the bispecific protein independently have an amino acid sequence identity of at least about 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% to a corresponding wild-type Fc polypeptide (e.g., a human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 Fc polypeptide). Examples and descriptions of modified Fc polypeptides (e.g., TfR-binding Fc polypeptides) can be found, e.g., in International Patent Publication No. WO 2018/152326, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Fc Polypeptide Modifications for BBB Receptor Binding

Provided herein are anti-HER2 bispecific proteins that are capable of being transported across the BBB. Such a protein comprises a modified Fc polypeptide that binds to a BBB receptor. BBB receptors are expressed on BBB endothelia, as well as other cell and tissue types. In some embodiments, the BBB receptor is a TfR. A modified Fc polypeptide that binds to TfR is also referred to as having a TfR-binding site.
Amino acid residues designated in various Fc modifications, including those introduced in a modified Fc polypeptide that binds to a BBB receptor, e.g., TfR, are numbered herein using EU index numbering. Any Fc polypeptide, e.g., an IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 Fc polypeptide, may have modifications, e.g., amino acid substitutions, in one or more positions as described herein. In some embodiments, the domain that is modified for BBB (e.g., TfR) receptor-binding activity is a human Ig CH3 domain, such as an IgG1 CH3 domain. The CH3 domain can be of any IgG subtype, i.e., from IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4. In the context of IgG1 antibodies, a CH3 domain refers to the segment of amino acids from about position 341 to about position 447 as numbered according to the EU numbering scheme.
In some embodiments, a modified Fc polypeptide that specifically binds to TfR binds to the apical domain of TfR and may bind to TfR without blocking or otherwise inhibiting binding of transferrin to TfR. In some embodiments, binding of transferrin to TfR is not substantially inhibited. In some embodiments, binding of transferrin to TfR is inhibited by less than about 50% (e.g., less than about 45%, 40%, 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5%).

In other embodiments of the bispecific proteins described herein, both Fc polypeptides in the Fc polypeptide dimer can be a BBB (e.g., TfR) receptor-binding Fc polypeptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:145.

Fc Polypeptide Modifications for Heterodimerization

In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptides present in any bispecific protein described herein include knob and hole mutations to promote heterodimer formation and hinder homodimer formation. Generally, the modifications introduce a protuberance (“knob”) at the interface of a first polypeptide and a corresponding cavity (“hole”) in the interface of a second polypeptide, such that the protuberance can be positioned in the cavity so as to promote heterodimer formation and thus hinder homodimer formation. Protuberances are constructed by replacing small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first polypeptide with larger side chains (e.g., tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory cavities of identical or similar size to the protuberances are created in the interface of the second polypeptide by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g., alanine or threonine). In some embodiments, such additional mutations are at a position in the Fc polypeptide that does not have a negative effect on binding of the polypeptide to a BBB receptor, e.g., TfR.
In one illustrative embodiment of a knob and hole approach for dimerization, position 366 (numbered according to the EU numbering scheme) of one of the Fc polypeptides present in the bispecific protein comprises a tryptophan in place of a native threonine. The other Fc polypeptide in the dimer has a valine at position 407 (numbered according to the EU numbering scheme) in place of the native tyrosine. The other Fc polypeptide may further comprise a substitution in which the native threonine at position 366 (numbered according to the EU numbering scheme) is substituted with a serine and a native leucine at position 368 (numbered according to the EU numbering scheme) is substituted with an alanine. Thus, one of the Fc polypeptides of a bispecific protein described herein has the T366W knob mutation and the other Fc polypeptide has the Y407V mutation, which is typically accompanied by the T366S and L368A hole mutations.
In some embodiments, one or both Fc polypeptides present in a bispecific protein described herein may also be engineered to contain other modifications for heterodimerization, e.g., electrostatic engineering of contact residues within a CH3-CH3 interface that are naturally charged or hydrophobic patch modifications.
For example, in some embodiments, a bispecific protein described herein can contain an Fc polypeptide dimer that has one Fc polypeptide having the T366W knob mutation and at least 90% (e.g., 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%) identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 131 and the other Fc polypeptide having the T366S, L368A, and Y407V hole mutations and at least 90% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 133. In certain embodiments, one or both Fc polypeptides in the Fc polypeptide dimer can be a TfR-binding Fc polypeptide. In particular embodiments, a bispecific protein described herein can contain an Fc polypeptide dimer that has (i) a first Fc polypeptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:133, and (ii) a second Fc polypeptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:136. In particular embodiments, a bispecific protein described herein can contain an Fc polypeptide dimer that has (i) a first Fc polypeptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:133, and (ii) a second Fc polypeptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:141.

Fc Polypeptide Modifications for Modulating Effector Function

In some embodiments, one or both Fc polypeptides present in any bispecific protein described herein may comprise modifications that reduce effector function, i.e., having a reduced ability to induce certain biological functions upon binding to an Fc receptor expressed on an effector cell that mediates the effector function. Examples of antibody effector functions include, but are not limited to, C1q binding and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), down-regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptor), and B-cell activation. Effector functions may vary with the antibody class. For example, native human IgG1 and IgG3 antibodies can elicit ADCC and CDC activities upon binding to an appropriate Fc receptor present on an immune system cell; and native human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 can elicit ADCP functions upon binding to the appropriate Fc receptor present on an immune cell.
In some embodiments, one or both Fc polypeptides present in a bispecific protein described herein may comprise modifications that reduce or eliminate effector function. Illustrative Fc polypeptide mutations that reduce effector function include, but are not limited to, substitutions in a CH2 domain, e.g., at positions 234 and 235, according to the EU numbering scheme. For example, in some embodiments, one or both Fc polypeptides can comprise alanine residues at positions 234 and 235. Thus, one or both Fc polypeptides may have L234A and L235A (also referred to as “LALA” herein) substitutions.
Additional Fc polypeptide mutations that modulate an effector function include, but are not limited to, the following: position 329 may have a mutation in which proline is substituted with a glycine, alanine, serine, or arginine or an amino acid residue large enough to destroy the Fc/Fcγ receptor interface that is formed between proline 329 of the Fc and tryptophan residues Trp 87 and Trp 110 of FcγRIII. Additional illustrative substitutions include S228P, E233P, L235E, N297A, N297D, and P331S, according to the EU numbering scheme. Multiple substitutions may also be present, e.g., L234A and L235A of a human IgG1 Fc region; L234A, L235A, and P329G of a human IgG1 Fc region; S228P and L235E of a human IgG4 Fc region; L234A and G237A of a human IgG1 Fc region; L234A, L235A, and G237A of a human IgG1 Fc region; V234A and G237A of a human IgG2 Fc region; L235A, G237A, and E318A of a human IgG4 Fc region; and S228P and L236E of a human IgG4 Fc region, according to the EU numbering scheme. In some embodiments, one or both Fc polypeptides may have one or more amino acid substitutions that modulate ADCC, e.g., substitutions at positions 298, 333, and/or 334, according to the EU numbering scheme.
“cis-LALA” Configuration
In some embodiments of any bispecific protein described herein, only one of the two Fc polypeptides (but not both Fc polypeptides) of the two Fc polypeptides in the bispecific protein is modified to both reduce effector function and bind TfR. The other Fc polypeptide does not contain a TfR-binding site or any modifications that reduce effector function. The Fc polypeptide dimer in the bispecific protein that has only one of the two Fc polypeptides containing both the TfR-binding site and modifications that reduce FcγR binding (e.g., LALA substitutions), while the other Fc polypeptide does not contain a TfR-binding site or any modifications that reduce FcγR binding, is referred to as having the cis-LALA configuration.
For example, in some embodiments, a bispecific protein described herein can contain an Fc polypeptide dimer having the cis-LALA configuration that has (i) a first Fc polypeptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:137, which has both a TfR-binding site and LALA substitutions, as well as a knob modification, and (ii) a second Fc polypeptide having at least 90% identity to the sequence of SEQ ID NO:133, which only has a hole modification.

Thus, one or both Fc polypeptides may have M252Y, S254T, and T256E substitutions. Alternatively, one or both Fc polypeptides may have M428L and N434S substitutions, as numbered according to the EU numbering scheme.

Fc Polypeptide with C-terminal Lysine Residue Removed
In some embodiments of the bispecific proteins described herein, one or both of the Fc polypeptides can have its C-terminal lysine removed (e.g., the Lys residue at position 447 of the Fc polypeptide, according to EU numbering). The C-terminal lysine residue is highly conserved in immunoglobulins across many species and may be fully or partially removed by the cellular machinery during protein production. In some embodiments, removal of the C-terminal lysines in the Fc polypeptides can improve the stability of the bispecific proteins.

V. Linkers

As described herein, a bispecific protein can contain one or more linkers. A linker refers to a linkage between two elements (i.e., between a V_Hregion and a V_Lregion, between an scFv and an Fc polypeptide, between an scFv and an Fd portion, between an scFv and a light chain, between a V_Hregion or a V_Lregion and an Fd portion, between a V_Hregion or a V_Lregion and a light chain, or between a V_Hregion or a V_Lregion and an Fc polypeptide) in the bispecific protein. In some embodiments, a linker can be a peptide linker that can link two elements in the bispecific protein to provide space and/or flexibility.
In some embodiments, a linker can include 1-100 amino acids (e.g., 1-90, 1-80, 1-70, 1-90, 1-60, 1-50, 1-40, 1-30, 1-20, 1-10, 1-8, 1-6, 1-4, 5-100, 10-100, 15-100, 20-100, 30-100, 40-100, 50-100, 60-100, 70-100, 80-100, 90-100, 10-90, 10-80, 10-70, 10-60, 10-50, 10-40, 10-30, 10-25, 10-20, or 10-15 amino acids). In some embodiments, a linker between two Fc domain monomers is an amino acid spacer containing 1-30 amino acids (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 amino acids). Linkers can contain natural amino acids, unnatural amino acids, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the linker can be a flexible linker, e.g., containing amino acids such as Gly, Asn, Ser, Thr, Ala, and the like. Such linkers can be designed using known parameters and may be of any length and contain any number of repeat units of any length (e.g., repeat units of Gly and Ser residues). For example, the linker may have repeats, such as two, three, four, five, or more GGGGS (SEQ ID NO:117), GGSG (SEQ ID NO:151), GSGG (SEQ ID NO:152), or SGGG (SEQ ID NO:153) repeats or a single GGGGS (SEQ ID NO:117), GGSG (SEQ ID NO:151), GSGG (SEQ ID NO:152), or SGGG (SEQ ID NO: 153). Examples of flexible linkers containing Gly and Ser residues include, but are not limited to, GGSGGGSGGGSGGGSGGGSG (SEQ ID NO:116; (GGSG)₅), GGGGS (SEQ ID NO:117; G₄S), GGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO:118; (G₄S)₂), GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO:119; (G₄S)₃), GGGGSGGGGSGGGG (SEQ ID NO: 120; (G₄S)₂-G₄), GGGGSGGGGSGG (SEQ ID NO: 121), GGGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 122), and GGGGGSGGGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO:123).
In some embodiments, a linker can also contain amino acids other than glycine and serine, e.g., GGGGSEPKSS (SEQ ID NO:124), ASTKGPSVF (SEQ ID NO:125), or RTVAAPSVFI (SEQ ID NO: 126). Example of other linkers are also described in the art, see, e.g., Chen et al. Adv. Drug Deliv Rev. 65(10):1357-1369, 2013.

VI. Preparation of Bispecific Proteins

For preparing a bispecific protein described herein, many techniques known in the art can be used. In some embodiments, the genes encoding the heavy and light chains of an antibody of interest can be cloned from a cell, e.g. from a hybridoma.

IX. Examples

The present invention will be described in greater detail by way of specific examples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner.

Example 1. Generation of Bispecific Proteins

Engineered proteins having the structure of a bispecific protein as described herein and shown in FIGS. 1-5 were generated to target subdomain II of human HER2 and subdomain IV of human HER2. In some constructs, the C-terminal lysine of the Fc polypeptide was removed. In some constructs, the Fd portions (V_H+CH1) were cloned into expression vectors comprising a sequence encoding an Fc polypeptide. In some embodiments, the Fc polypeptide was engineered to have a TfR-binding site. In some embodiments of the constructs, one of the Fc polypeptides contained a TfR-binding site and a “knob” (T366W) mutation (e.g., SEQ ID NO:137), while the other Fc polypeptide contained “hole” (T366S/L368A/Y407V) mutations (e.g., SEQ ID NO:133). Additionally, one or both Fc polypeptides also contained mutations L234A/L235A, which attenuate FcγR binding.
Vectors were co-transfected to ExpiCHO or Expi293 cells along with the corresponding light chain vector in the ratio knob:hole:light chain of 1:1:2. The expressed protein was purified from conditioned media by loading the supernatant over a Protein A column. The column was washed with 10 column volumes of PBS, pH 7.4. The proteins were eluted with 50 mM sodium citrate, pH 3.0 containing 150 mM NaCl, and immediately neutralized with 200 mM arginine, 137 mM succinic acid, pH 5.0. The proteins were further purified by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) (GE Superdex200) using 200 mM arginine, 137 mM succinic acid, pH 5.0 as running buffer. The purified proteins were confirmed by intact mass LC/MS, and purity of >95% was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and analytical HPLC-SEC. Anti-HER2 bispecific proteins containing unmodified human IgG1 constant regions were generated. Table 1 below provides the sequences of the anti-HER2 bispecific proteins and two control anti-HER2 antibodies.

Example 2. Biacore Assessment of Bispecific Proteins

Affinities of the bispecific proteins were measured by SPR using a Biacore T200 or a Biacore 8K. Biacore™ Series S CM5 sensor chips were immobilized with monoclonal mouse anti-human IgG (Fc) antibody for HER2 affinity measurements or mouse anti-human Fab for TfR affinity measurements (human antibody or Fab capture kit from GE Healthcare). Serial 3-fold dilutions of analyte (recombinant HER2 extracellular domain or recombinant TfR apical domain) were injected at a flow rate of 30 μL/min. Each sample was analyzed using a 3-minute association and a 10-minute dissociation for HER2 extracellular domain binding and a 40-second association and a 3-minute dissociation for human TfR apical domain binding. After each injection, the chip was regenerated using 3 M MgCl₂or 50 mM glycine at pH 2.0. Binding response was corrected by subtracting the RU from a flow cell capturing an irrelevant IgG at similar density. A 1:1 Languir model of simultaneous fitting of kon and koff was used for kinetics analysis. The K_Dfor construct “anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_1” is 2.3 nM and the K_Dfor construct “anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv 2” is 1.9 nM. The two constructs are described below.
Both constructs “anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_1” and “anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_2” have the “Fab-Fc polypeptide/scFv-Fc polypeptide” structure. In the construct “anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_1,” (a) comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 (Anti-HER2DII Fab fused to the N-terminus of CH3C.35.23.4 with knob LALA via the hinge region), (b) comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:23 (Anti-HER2DIV scFv fused to the N-terminus of Fc polypeptide with hole mutation via a hinge region), and (c) comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:25. In the construct “anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_2,” (a) comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:5 (Anti-HER2DII Fab fused to the N-terminus of Fc polypeptide with hole mutation via a hinge region), (b) comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:24 (Anti-HER2DIV scFv fused to the N-terminus of CH3C.35.23.4 with knob LALA via the hinge region), and (c) comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:25. In both constructs, the scFv portion contains an anti-HER2DIV V_Lregion having a Gln to Cys substitution at position 100 (SEQ ID NO:115) and an anti-HER2DIV V_Hregion having a Gly to Cys substitution at position 44 (SEQ ID NO:113). Also in both constructs, the hinge region in (b) has a Cys to Ser mutation at position 5 (EPKSSDKTHTCPPCP (SEQ ID NO:129)).
Table 2 below further shows the K_Dfor HER2 binding and K_Dfor TfR binding of anti-HER2 bispecific proteins.

Example 3. Co-Targeting TfR and HER2 Subdomains II and IV

Many tumor cells and tumor cell lines, such as BT474 and OE19, express both HER2 and TfR. While it is well established that antibodies targeting HER2 subdomain IV are capable of inhibiting tumor cell growth and reducing tumor cell viability in some HER2⁺ cell lines, we sought to understand whether co-targeting HER2 subdomain IV and TfR would lead to enhanced cell killing.
Two constructs having the “Fab-Fc polypeptide/scFv-Fc polypeptide” structure were used. The construct “anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_1” and the construct “anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_2” are described in the previous example.
We first compared both constructs and control monoclonal anti-HER2 antibodies in a growth inhibition assay with a HER2⁺ tumor cell line BT474, which is sensitive to anti-HER2 therapies. BT474 cells were plated overnight at 10,000 cells/well in a 96-well plate, treated with 60 μL of 1:3 serial dilution of molecules of interest beginning at 166 nM (25,000 ng/mL). Culture media (RPMI) and drugs were replenished on Day 3. On Day 6, cell growth was determined using 5 μL of WST-1 reagent (Sigma Aldrich) in 50 μL of growth media. The plate was incubated for 4 hours in the presence of WST-1 reagent, and absorbance was determined at 440 nm. The percent of growth inhibition/proliferation was calculated based on A440 nM and was normalized to the untreated control. As shown in FIG. 6A, combination of anti-HER2-DIV and anti-HER2-DII reduced BT474 cell viability relative to the control with a maximum inhibition of about 87%. Similarly, anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_1 and anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_2 showed similar maximum growth inhibition compared to anti-HER2-DIV and anti-HER2-DII (FIG. 6A).
Next, we compared the two constructs and control monoclonal anti-HER2 antibodies with another HER2⁺ cancer cell line OE19 that is resistant to anti-HER2 treatment. As shown in FIG. 6B, unlike BT474, in which there was no difference between the maximum growth inhibition effects of the two anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv constructs and combination of anti-HER2-DIV and anti-HER2-DII, OE19 cell line had a maximum inhibition of about 80% upon anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_1 and anti-HER2_DIV/DII_scFv_2 treatments while the cells were minimally responsive to combination of anti-HER2-DIV and anti-HER2-DII. These results indicate that targeting HER2 subdomain IV, HER2 subdomain II, and TfR could result in enhanced cell growth inhibition in an anti-HER2-resistant cell line as compared to targeting only the HER2 subdomains. Of note, any enhancement could be masked if the cell line is already sensitive to anti-HER2 therapy.

Example 4. In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Properties of Anti-HER2 Bispecific Proteins

To evaluate the in vivo plasma pharmacokinetics of anti-HER2 bispecific proteins in the absence of TfR binding, C57BL/6 mice were intravenously administered 10 mg/kg of anti-HER2 bispecific proteins. Blood was collected at 30 min, 1 d, 4 d, and 7 d following a single dose, processed to plasma, and stored at −80° C. until analysis. The total therapeutic concentrations of the bispecific proteins in the plasma were quantified using an anti-human IgG sandwich ELISA (FIG. 7 ) and using the appropriate dosing solutions as a standard. Plates were coated overnight with an anti-human IgG then washed 3× with wash buffer. Standards and relevantly diluted samples were incubated with agitation for 2 hrs at room temperature. After incubation, plates were washed 3× with wash buffer. The detection antibody was diluted in blocking buffer and plates were incubated with agitation for 1 hr at room temperature. After a final 3×wash, plates were developed by adding TMB substrate and incubated for 5-10 minutes. Reaction was quenched and read using 450 nM absorbance (Biotek plate reader). All anti-HER2 bispecific proteins showed clearance values within the range of normal IgGs.

Example 5. In Vivo Brain Uptake of Anti-HER2 Bispecific Proteins

To evaluate the in vivo uptake of anti-HER2 bispecific proteins into the brain, TfR^mu/huKI mice were intravenously administered 50 mg/kg of anti-HER2 bispecific proteins. Approximately 24 hours after dosing, whole blood was collected into EDTA coated tubes via cardiac puncture, then animals were perfused with ice-cold PBS. Clinical blood chemistry and reticulocyte quantification (FIG. 8A) were evaluated using fresh whole blood and a separate aliquot was processed to plasma. Most anti-HER2 bispecific proteins showed reticulocytes values within the normal range compared to control treated mice.
The plasma and fresh brain were snap-frozen on dry ice and stored at −80° C. Brains were homogenized with 10× volume by tissue weight 1% NP40 buffer in PBS with protease and phosphatase inhibitors using a Qiagen Tissue Lyser II; supernatant was stored at −80° C. Plasma (FIG. 8B) and brain lysate (FIG. 8C) concentrations of anti-HER2 bispecific proteins were quantified using a sandwich ELISA. Plasma concentrations exhibited expected TfR-mediated drug disposition; brain concentrations of anti-HER2 bispecific proteins ranged from approximately 15 nM to 52 nM in the brain, demonstrating the ability of these molecules to bind to TfR on the blood-brain barrier and be transported into the brain. The resulting percentage of brain-to-plasma concentrations were between approximately 1-2% (FIG. 8D), approximately ten-fold higher than expected for antibodies lacking TfR or other receptor-mediated transcytosis targeting. This data demonstrates and supports that numerous anti-HER2 bispecific proteins of different architectures as described herein are brain-penetrant.

Example 6. In Vitro Growth Inhibition of Anti-HER2 Bispecific Proteins

In vitro growth inhibition efficacies of anti-HER2 bispecific proteins and existing anti-HER2 therapies were evaluated with various HER2⁺ tumor cell lines (BT474 (FIGS. 9A-9F), OE19 (FIG. 9G-9I), and ZR75 (FIG. 9J-9L)), which are sensitive to anti-HER2 therapies. Tumor cells were plated overnight at 10,000 cells/well in a 96-well plate, treated with 60 μL of 1:3 serial dilution of molecules of interest beginning at 166 nM (25,000 ng/mL). Culture media (RPMI) and drugs were replenished on Day 3. For the neuregulin 1 (NRG1) treated BT474-group (FIGS. 9D-9F), cells were incubated in the presence of 50 ng/ml of NRG1. On Day 6, cell growth was determined using 5 μL of WST-1 reagent (Sigma Aldrich) in 50 μL of growth media. The plate was incubated for 4 hours in the presence of WST-1 reagent, and absorbance was determined at 440 nm. The percent of growth inhibition/proliferation was calculated based on A440 nM and was normalized to the untreated control. Table 3 below further shows the growth inhibition efficacies of the anti-HER2 bispecific proteins and anti-HER2 controls in the three different HER2⁺ cell lines. FIGS. 9A-9L and Table 3 show that overall anti-HER2 bispecific proteins show equivalent or superior growth inhibition than anti-HER2DIV control and anti-HER2DII control with wild-type Fc. In some cell lines with certain anti-HER2 bispecific proteins, the growth inhibition was reduced compared to anti-HER2DIV control or anti-HER2DII control with wild-type Fc, possibly due to competition for binding sites in certain configurations.
